A number of factors can increase your risk for back pain. They include: • Age: Back pain becomes more common with age. • Fitness level: Back pain is more common among people who are not physically fit. • Diet: A diet high in calories and fat can lead to obesity, which can put stress on the back. • Heredity: Some causes of back pain, including disc disease, may have a genetic component. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases funds research to better understand and treat back pain. It recently produced a booklet, Handout On Health: Back Pain, which offers information and treatment tips. |
